A 1,500-hp Koenigsegg Regera burnout, no gearbox needed

With more horsepower and less weight than the Bugatti Chiron, the Koenigsegg Regera is one of the most absurd vehicles on sale today. The plug-in-hybrid hypercar may not have a gearbox in the traditional sense of the word, but is still capable of roasting its tires.

The six-second video may be short, but it also shows exactly what the Regera is capable of. With a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 working in tandem with three electric motors, destroying a set of tires has never looked easier.

Only 80 Regeras will ever be built, which shouldn't be a surprise as the hypercar combines space-age technology and sophisticated engineering in a package that's unlike anything else on the road. With the Regera's monstrous figures, we hope Koenigsegg continues to raise the bar with its insane hypercars.
